Links to third party sites are provided only for the convenience of our Users, Members, and Travelers. We do not operate, control, endorse or guarantee any third party sites, and these Terms and all other Evaneos policies do not apply to any third party sites. Instead, any use by you of any third party sites will be subject to the terms of use, privacy policy, and other policies that are posted on those third party sites.

In addition to the Website and Mobile Application, we may interact with you on third party sites where we post content or invite your Feedback, such as through the Evaneos accounts on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube (“social media sites”). However, the social media sites are third party sites, and as such we do not control these social media sites, and these Terms and any other Evaneos policies do not apply to the social media sites. It is your responsibility to review the terms of use and other policies posted on the social media sites.

We may also from time to time include features on the Website or Mobile Applications that allow you to share information, or provide comments and Feedback regarding the Services, on various social media sites. These interactive features may link to, or require you to log into, one of your social media accounts, or may otherwise access or use your social media account information. This may result in our obtaining information about you (such as your social media account profile picture or other account information) from your social media service provider, and vice versa. Our collection and use of information through our Website and Mobile Applications will be subject to our Privacy Policy. However, we are not in control of your social media account or how the social media site providers use your information, which is governed by the setting and privacy policies of the social media sites. Again, you should review the terms of use and other policies posted on the social media sites.

If you use any social media sharing feature, or if the Website or Mobile Applications feature any “send to friend” email link or similar tool that allows you to initiate and send one or more of your friends any communication that includes any Content from our Website or Mobile Applications, or to post Content to any social media site, you may do so only in a manner that does not violate these Terms and any applicable law.

Under no circumstances will Evaneos be liable to you or any other person in respect of any content, advertising, products, services, or other tools or features available on or derived from any third party site.

If you submit any Member Content to the Website or Mobile Applications, you understand and agree that we have the right, but not the obligation, to use that Member Content, or any part thereof, in our discretion and for any purpose, including advertising and promotional activities and/or any other commercial purposes, without any right of compensation to you or any third party.

• Member Content that, in the sole judgment of Evaneos, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying our Website, Mobile Applications, or Services, or which may expose Evaneos or its Users, Members, Travelers, or Local Travel Agencies to any harm or liability of any type.

While Evaneos reserves the right to monitor any Member Content for compliance with these Terms and our other policies, we cannot control all Member Content prior to its publication. Evaneos reserves the right at any time to withdraw any and all Member Content that violates these Terms, without notice and at its entire discretion.

THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF EVANEOS FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE WEBSITE, MOBILE APPLICATIONS, SERVICES, OR ANY CONTENT OR OTHER INFORMATION, MATERIALS, AND PRODUCTS INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE, MOBILE APPLICATIONS, OR SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (I) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO EVANEOS TO ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE, MOBILE APPLICATION, OR SERVICES OR (II) $100.

CERTAIN OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW A PARTICULAR LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR SUCH DAMAGES.

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to protect their materials.

In the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512 (as amended from time to time, the “DMCA”), provides a complaint procedure for copyright owners who believe that any materials on the Website or Mobile Applications infringe their rights under US copyright law. If you are a US person, and you believe that your work has been improperly copied and posted on the Website or Mobile Applications, you may request removal of those materials (or access thereto) by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent (designated below). To comply with the DMCA, your written notice must include the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

These requirements must be followed to give us legally sufficient notice of infringement. Our copyright agent to whom you should send copyright infringement complaints is:

Eric la Bonnardiere
Evaneos SA
27 rue de Mogador
Paris 75009 
France
Phone: 1-888-859-3496
Email: support@evaneos.com

We strongly suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a DMCA notice with our copyright agent. There can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA. For example, if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website or Mobile Applications is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

We reserve the right at any time to suspend cancel your Account for any reason and with no liability to you, including if you fail to comply with these Terms of Use. If we do cancel your Account, you will no longer have any access any of the information associated with your Account or any Content submitted through your Account. However, termination of your Account will not relieve you from any outstanding obligations regarding any travel package order you may have in progress with a Local Travel Agency at the time your Account is terminated.

Evaneos has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Website, Mobile Applications, and any Content (including Member Content), at our discretion or at the request of third parties, in order to verify compliance with these Terms and any other Evaneos policies. However, Evaneos assumes no responsibility or liability arising from any use of the Website or Mobile Applications, and Evaneos is under no obligation to enforce these Terms or any other Evaneos policy on your behalf against any other User, Member, Traveler, Local Travel Agency, or other party.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms or any other Evaneos policy, or regarding the Website, Mobile Applications, or Services, you can contact us at support@evaneos.com, by phone at +1 (888) 859-3496, or by mail at the following address: Evaneos SA – Customer Service – 27 rue de Mogador - 75009 Paris - FRANCE; or by telephone at +1 (888) 859-3496. If you contact us by mail or phone, we may need to take steps to confirm your identity before we can address your concern.

We use e-mail as a vital and primary communication channel with you. By using the Website and Mobile Applications, if you provide us with an e-mail address, such as when using the “Get in touch” or any similar features of the Website or Mobile Applications, creating an Account, or opting into our newsletter, you grant us permission to communicate with you by e-mail for any purposes, including for any disclosures, system messages and, subject to our obligations under applicable law, other marketing purposes. We will use our best efforts to honor any request to opt out of marketing messages, but under no circumstances will we have any liability for sending you any e-mail. You agree that any notice, agreement, disclosure or other communication that we send you by e-mail will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communication be in writing.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, Evaneos, our directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees, contractors, volunteers, licensors, and partners from any claims or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of (a) your access to, use of, or conduct in connection with our Website, Mobile Applications, or Services; (b) any Member Content or Feedback you provide; (c) your violation of these Terms, any other Evaneos policies, or any agreement between you and any Local Travel Agency; (d) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); and (e) any claims made by any third parties that participate in any travel purchased through our Website, Mobile Applications, or Services.

With respect to your intended travel, it is advisable to take out insurance including coverage for personal assistance services and payment of medical expenses, accident insurance, repatriation cover, luggage insurance, cancellation insurance, and coverage of legal liability. It shall be your responsibility to check your insurance coverage and if necessary take out insurance with your insurance broker or through an insurance agency that you connect with through our Website or Mobile Applications.

C. Your Liability in Regard to Your Communications

You acknowledge that you (and not Evaneos) are solely liable for any and all electronic information and content (including Member Content) you upload to the Website or Mobile Applications, and acknowledge that Evaneos shall incur no liability in this respect whatsoever. You acknowledge that you shall and must use the Website, Mobile Applications, and Services in a manner compliant with applicable law.

D. Release of Evaneos

You acknowledge that you are connecting to and using the Website, Mobile Applications, and Services at your sole risk, including all of the risks associated with other Users, Members, Travelers, and Local Travel Agencies.

Evaneos, our directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees, contractors, volunteers, licensors, partners, and representatives (collectively, “released party”) shall not be responsible or liable for cancellations, acts of Local Travel Agencies, Tour Operators, or other service providers, variation, postponement, omission or default by air carriers, land carriers, hoteliers or hotels, transportation companies, or any other persons providing services or accommodations to you including any results thereof, such as changes in services, accommodations or facilities. Nor shall they be liable for loss or damage to baggage or property, or for injury, illness or death, or for any damages or claims whatsoever arising from loss, negligence or delay from the act, error, omission default or negligence of any person that is not its employee, including any act, error, omission, default, or negligence of any country, government or governmental authority, officer or employee. The released party shall not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages. You hereby expressly release Evaneos from any and all liability, controversies, claims, suits, injuries, loss, harm or damages arising from or related to disputes, dealings, or interactions between you and any other Users, Members, Travelers, Local Travel Agencies, Tour Operators, Travelers or other third parties.

E. Additional Risks

Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation. You must accept these risks involved in travel to any country that may experience security difficulties and accept responsibility for your own travel decisions. You are urged to consult with government sources, including the United States Department of State, news sources as well as your Local Travel Agent prior to making your travel plans. Evaneos, and our directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees, contractors, volunteers, licensors, and partners, are a referral service only and DO NOT arrange tours, transportation, sightseeing, lodging, or any other services related to your tour. Evaneos is an independent contractor and is not an employee, agent, or representative of any Local Travel Agencies, Tour Operators, or their suppliers. Evaneos does not own, manage, operate, supervise, or control any transportation, vehicle, airplane, hotel or restaurants, or any other entity that supplies services related to your tour. Evaneos is not affiliated with any Local Tour Agency or Tour Operator. All Local Tour Agencies, Tour Operators, and suppliers are independent contractors, and are not agents or employees or representatives of Evaneos. All tickets, receipts, coupons, and vouchers are issued subject to the terms and conditions specified by each supplier, and by accepting the coupons, vouchers, and tickets, or utilizing the services, all customers agree that neither Evaneos, nor its employees, agents, or representatives are or may be liable for any loss, injury, or damage to any tour participant or their belongings, or otherwise, in connection with any service supplied or not supplied resulting directly or indirectly from any occurrence beyond the control of Evaneos. Evaneos assumes no responsibility or liability for any delay, change in schedule, loss, injury or damage or loss of any participant that may result from any act or omission on the part of others; and Evaneos shall be relieved of any obligations under these terms and conditions in the event of any strike, labor dispute, act of God, or of government, fire, war, whether declared or not, terrorism, insurrection, riot, theft, pilferage, epidemic, illness, physical injury, quarantine, medical or customs or immigration regulation, delay, or cancellation. Evaneos accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen items.

Evaneos has selected Local Travel Agencies that are experts in the organization of consumer travel and who possess the authorizations and insurance required in their countries of establishment. Evaneos provides a service through which Members are put in contact with Local Travel Agencies. Evaneos performs screening of the Local Travel Agencies but this screening does not necessarily entail any kind of identity background checks unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions. You are encouraged to engage in a conversation with the Local Travel Agency to confirm that you are comfortable using their services. We will not bill you for our services, and add no further costs to the cost estimate provided by Local Travel Agencies. Our remuneration is made up of commissions paid to us by Local Travel Agencies.

All agreements entered into between Travelers and Local Travel Agencies are between the Traveler and the subject Local Travel Agency only and not Evaneos which is therefore not involved in the contracting.

Evaneos does not employ any Local Travel Agents and has no control over the acts or omission of any Local Travel Agent.

Evaneos does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of Services of Local Travel Agencies advertised or provided on and/or through the Website, the truth or accuracy of listings, the qualifications, background, or abilities of Members, the ability of Local Travel Agencies to deliver Services, the ability of Travelers to pay for Services, or that a Local Travel Agency or Traveler will actually complete a transaction.

Local Travel Agencies assume full liability for the services that they offer and provide and for their choice of service providers. In this respect, Travelers will be required to accept the terms of sale of each Local Travel Agency, as set forth in the Local Agency Agreement and as they come into force at the time of your acceptance of the Local Travel Agency’s delivery of a cost estimate and/or of your making initial payment.

You hereby expressly release Evaneos from any and all liability for any controversies, claims, suits, injuries, loss, harm, or damages arising from or related to our Services or your interactions or dealings with Local Travel Agencies and their service providers, including acts and omissions of Local Travel Agencies. All use of our Services is at your sole and exclusive risk.

Before making a reservation with a Local Travel Agency, you undertake to read and accept the terms of the applicable Local Agency Agreement, all of which will apply in addition to these terms.

A. Cancellation

Any cancellation must be notified by letter, facsimile or email directly informing the Local Travel Agency in the form required by the Local Agency Agreement. Cancellation fees may be payable in an amount that may vary in accordance with the timeframe of cancellation and the Local Agency Agreement, which you are required to consult.

We suggest that you take care both (a) to read in detail the Local Agency Agreement relating to cancellation, pre-payment and failure, and (b) to show, and to make all payments by the deadlines agreed with the Local Travel Agency.

It is your responsibility to give notice of cancellation to any insurer by the deadlines set out in the insurer’s terms and conditions of cancellation, which may affect your ability to claim cancellation expenses. Evaneos will not reimburse any cancellation insurance premium you incur. The Local Agency Agreement will apply to you. Cancellation expenses will be payable out of the initial down payment made by you when reserving through the Local Travel Agency. If you have made payment through the Evaneos secure payment platform, Evaneos will credit you by using the means of payment originally adopted (bank card, wire transfer, etc.).

B. Payment

Reservations are effective as soon as initial down payment has been received.

The terms and conditions of payment are those set out in the Local Agency Agreement, which you must consult.

Each Local Travel Agency is required to inform you of its terms, conditions and means of payment.

Travelers pay Local Travel Agencies through the Evaneos secure payment platform. To enable this, your Local Travel Agent will send you a payment link by email once the travel cost estimate has been accepted.

In the event of an error in connection with the pricing or charging of a Package, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of a billing error is to obtain a refund for the excess amount charged. To be eligible for such refund, you must provide notice of any billing error within 120 days of the date of the billing statement in which such error first appeared.

C. Modifications

Between the moment of drafting the cost estimate and the moment at which you agree to it, accommodation availability may change. If such changes take place, your renewed consent to the altered situation will be requested.

D. Services Not Used

If any travel is cut short or interrupted by a Traveler, including if any land, river, sea or air-based service not fully taken up for whatsoever reason, there will under no circumstances be any refund from the Local Travel Agency.

It is the Traveler’s responsibility to take out insurance cover providing for recovery of any sums paid out for unused Services.

E. Evaneos Disclaimer Against Local Travel Agency Default

Evaneos makes no representations or warranties regarding and is not liable for the services provided by Local Travel Agencies, nor will it be held liable for their default in any event, including in the event of their going into administration or receivership or for any criminal wrongdoing committed by the Local Travel Agencies.

F. Evaneos Customer Service

However, in the event of Local Travel Agency default making it impossible to perform the selected travel schedule, Evaneos will assist by attempting to find an alternative solution through another Local Travel Agency.

As part of this commitment, Evaneos undertakes to ensure that you do not suffer financial loss in this respect.

Evaneos is thus committed to paying you compensation in the amount you paid to the defaulting Local Travel Agency, by refunding it to you if no alternative Local Travel Agency can manage the travel schedule you paid for, or if not by paying an equivalent sum directly to the alternative Local Travel Agency managing your travel schedule. If there is an outstanding balance for Services, unpaid in whole or in part, you should make complete payment to the alternative Travel Agency, without any liability attaching to Evaneos in such circumstances.

In the event of dispute with the Local Travel Agency, before, during or after your travel, Evaneos customer service is at your disposal to assist in resolving the issue. You can contact us at the following address: support@evaneos.com and telephone number: +1 (888) 859-3496.

Please read the following section carefully, because it limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

These Terms are governed by U.S. law and the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law principles. All User, Member, and Traveler claims must be submitted in writing and received by Evaneos no later than sixty (60) days after the earlier of (a) the date of the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) the completion of the Traveler’s vacation as booked through the Website or Mobile Applications, if applicable. Claims not submitted and received within this time shall be deemed waived and barred.

YOU AND EVANEOS HEREBY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR RELATED PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE, DEFEND OR INTERPRET ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS. FURTHER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ACTIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Evaneos shall be entitled to assign, transmit, sub-contract or delegate its rights, duties and obligations under these Terms to a third party. No entitlement of this kind is granted to you.
